Tutorials that teach how to use the Chrono CORE module for multibody system analysis.

The following are some examples to get started with Chrono. These demos require the IRRLICHT run-time visualization module, with some of them optionally using the VSG run-time visualization module.

Slider crank example (demo_MBS_crank.cpp) The simplest MBS example: the skeleton of a slider-crank mechanism.
Four-bar linkage example (demo_MBS_fourbar.cpp) Create a four bar linkage and display it with simple lines
Collision example (demo_MBS_collisionNSC.cpp) Learn how to setup collisions in Chrono with this introductory example
Falling bricks example (demo_MBS_bricks.cpp) Simulate collisions between a wrecking ball and a wall (Irrlicht or VSG run-time visualization)
Pendulum example (demo_MBS_pendulum.cpp) Simulate articulated pendulums that interact with a force field
Example on using motors and actuators (demo_MBS_motors.cpp) Different ways of using motors in Chrono
Gear constraint example (demo_MBS_gears.cpp) Create a transmission made of pulleys, spur gears, bevel gears.
Mecanum omnidirectional robot example (demo_MBS_mecanum.cpp) Create a robot with omnidirectional wheels; learn coordinate transformations
Rolling and spinning friction example (demo_MBS_friction.cpp) Learn how to enable rolling and spinning friction (Irrlicht or VSG run-time visualization)
Basic suspensions example (demo_MBS_suspension.cpp) Create a very simplified vehicle model with suspensions
Tracked vehicle example (demo_MBS_tracks.cpp) Simulate a vehicle with tracks interacting with obstacles, and that can be driven by the user
Conveyor belt example (demo_MBS_conveyor.cpp) Demonstration of the conveyor belt primitive.
Forklift example (demo_MBS_forklift.cpp) Advanced demo: create a forklift that can be driven by the user
